VMware Beacon Probing on BL620??

[chuckk281]

Manfred has a question on the drivers for the BL620c.

**********************

Hello,

A Customer have a Problem with the Smart Link in VC.

It s not possible to use the “Smart-Link” option in the Virtual Connect Module (Flex10 - FW 3.15) with ESXi V4.1-U1 in combination with NC532i (bnx2x mit 1.60.50.v4.1.2)  

There is a workaround for this problem with VmWare Beacon Probing: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02476622

My Question is:

Do I also need Beacon Probing for the NC553i (BL620)?

Or will the “Smart Link” option work with the BL620 without Problems?

thanks for help

This issue was fixed with the 1.60 Broadcom driver which was released a while ago. SmartLink now works properly. The NC553i (Emulex based) has never suffered from this problem.
